its the parking rod for the parking pawl. it has to go in the right channell to engage correctly. The valve body has to be set perfectly to operate or it, the shifter, will not move.

did you replace the governor solenoid?? it is the most common failure on this trans for this issue.

I guess that is what he did we asked the parts store for first and second gear solenoid and it looks like the governor solenoid. I guess we just need to make sure we are getting it into the right channel is there a special trick in doing this

experience by trans installers is what it is all about. for a first timer, it is difficult.
